They got way too cute with Davidson. He had nothing going from the start and he was lucky to get out of the first unscathed. Then they just kept sending him out there until they blew the entire lead and lost momentum. That's what you get for treating the game like some July throwaway and not the deciding game of the WS. Typical Braves.

Either that or Jack Sparrow

Everything besides "Miami" is redundant. You could hold a tea and sewing show here and it would still end up with a bunch of riff raff fighting each other.

This is actually my legitimate concern. Incoming desperation signing for a guy with a 6 ERA because he reached out to the Angels as soon as free agency started.

This. Broader societal issues are causing it. Same with the opioid crisis. Two classes of substances that allow you to detach from existence, rather than enhance it.

How do you justify those kind of valuations? The only ones that I can currently understand are Ethereum and Solana since they have some sort of underlying infrastructure that supports their value and adoption. Bitcoin to me is just a coin, with its value propped up by virtue of being the most widely known and hyped. Would be interested to hear of any other coins that have similar intrinsic value to the two I mentioned. Incidentally, I recently moved into a shared office space and the guys in the office next to us are running some sort of crypto scheme/scam. They're exactly the kind of people you'd expect to be doing this wort of thing (group of bros with tattoo sleeves, massive Gucci belts, and skinny jeans).

Yeah across a whopping 15 bats in which he has no extra base hits.

Happy to be wrong. That said, they were in this exact same position last year, also coming off a convincing Game 4 win.

The Braves only exist for comic relief in the playoffs. Just like the Twins in the AL

Atlanta doing Atlanta team things. Dodgers will win out from here.

On the bright side, the price for hookers and blow has remained stable. Or so my friends say....

People getting up in arms over gas going up by 10 cents a gallon when a new Jeep costs 90k, a college education (that barely gets your foot in the door at an entry level 40k a year job) costs 200k, and a one bedroom ranch house an hour outside of any major city costs 1m.

Syndergaard. Injury concerns plus he's likely a 4+ ERA pitcher even when healthy

The sexual harassment charges are still being processed

This sounds like the part where incompetent upper management fires everyone below them to deflect the blame. Now we just need some quotes from Maddon about "accountability."

I, am Spartacus

Honestly if they take one game from the Dodgers it'll be a win. The last 20+ years they've just been cannon fodder for the teams we all hate.

So looks like it'll be Dodgers vs Astros/Red Sox. Again. Baseball is quickly turning into NBA/college football where the same 4-5 teams dominate every single year. At least the NFL is back so I don't have to pay attention.

Not to mention pull someone with that kind of technical expertise away from the myriad Silicon Valley jobs out there that pay 3 times as much. I've heard baseball analytics jobs are notoriously low paid.

As much as I root for the Braves, that's a free pass to the WS for the Dodgers

Rengifo is the new Cowart. Has had parts of three seasons to show he belongs and he's been consistently bad.

It's no surprise that the two teams known for cheating are leading their series. It's almost like they're continuing to cheat since the MLB showed they won't punish them.

Mark DeRosa, that's a name I haven't heard in a while. Remember watching him with the Braves growing up
